I have 1 of the first 100 new of these in the 7.62x25 and there was nothing even remotely wrong with it. It has fired over 500 rounds without a single problem. The gun fired more reliably than my new Taurus and it is a gun I would use to carry. the workmanship is on par with most guns out there. I am buying one of the M70a's next week, I feel that the gun is only cheap in price not in quality. This will replace the gun I currently carry - a 1945 Ballester molina .45.

Bought one from AIM. It came covered in oil from the factory. Has some minor rust on it straight from AIM inside by the firing pin. Front sight installed crooked. In 50 rounds of Silver Bear 9mm, I've had 2 jams and one misfire from the firing pin not striking the primer hard enough. The jams may have been caused from the magazine, hard to tell. I believe that the safety was done by Century Arms, and is backwards compared to most 1911's. Up is fire and down is safe. It looks to be a somewhat amateur job on the safety and there is a ball bearing that is visible looking at the side of the gun. Once a little dirt gets in there, I think it's a lost cause. Overall, if I had to do it again, I'd spend the extra $200 and get a Glock 19 or double and grab a Sig or HK. This isn't something that you can feel comfortable carrying loaded because of the safety, and appears to be marginally reliable. I prefer weapons that work when it counts, and are safe to carry loaded with one in the chamber.

This is based off the Yugo M57 frame. These Tokarevs are longer at grip section of the frame area and hold one more round than the normal Tokarevs. Other then that, a regular Tokarev holster should work. A 1911 4" holster works also.

I have one of the first 100 of these in the 7.62 x 25 and the workmanship was excellent. NOW I did have to clean it but that is something I do with all my guns. Is it worth buying a resounding YES. That it is chambered in a readily available round like the 9mm and you have a winner.
